Chapter 607

Chapter 607:

“Yes, I can.” Hadley averted her gaze, peering downward at her. “He’s always been nothing but trouble. Perhaps this is for the best.”

“You…” Noreen was left speechless, seething with fury.

“Humph.” With a scoff, Hadley taunted, “Are you upset? Do you even have that right to be? When you shattered my family, did you ever anticipate retribution like this? It’s almost poetic, isn’t it?”

She broke away from Noreen’s grasp and turned around.

“Hadley!”

Realizing her pleas were ignored, Noreen’s face twisted with rage. “I destroyed your family? Stop lying to yourself! The real reason…”

“Your mother died because of you… Hadley! You were the one who killed her!”

Hadley stopped in her tracks, her vision suddenly turning blood-red.

She couldn’t remain here a moment longer.

Her fists clenched, she began to walk faster.

“Haha! Hadley, where do you think you’re going? You’re a heartless, selfish monster—a curse to everyone around you! It was you who took your mother’s life, always you! Ha!”

With each taunt, Hadley’s complexion turned ever more ashen, her legs barely supporting her.

She had to run, stumbling as she went. Where was she?

“Hadley, what happened? You look so…”

He noticed how shaken she seemed.

Yet, he couldn’t complete his thought as Hadley collapsed into his embrace, clutching him tightly.

Suddenly, a flood of emotions washed over Eric, leaving him frozen in place.

Although he often appeared to lead in his relationship with Hadley, in truth, she held the reins. He wanted no one else but her.

Still, she remained distant, as if she could walk away at any moment. Yet now, she sought comfort in his embrace, like he was her anchor.

Compelled by his feelings, Eric leaned in to hold her close, her fragrance enveloping him, utterly captivating. Her scent was mesmerizing, completely intoxicating.

“Eric,” she whispered faintly.

“I’m not feeling well. Would you mind helping me down the hill?”

“Of course.”

Casting a worried glance at her, Eric caressed her cold cheek, noticing the chill of her hands as well.

With no time to hesitate, he lifted her in his arms and hurried down the hill.

Upon reaching the car, he gently set her inside, handed her a water bottle, and helped her drink.

“Have some water.”

“Okay.” Hadley sipped a little and then gestured for no more.

Eric wanted to ask about what had happened on the hill, but her pale face held him back. He gently stroked her hair. “Just relax and get some rest.”
